Periodicals devoted either exclusively or primarily to Lovecraft.

Crypt of Cthulhu: Edited by Robert M. Price (Necronomicon Press).
Lovecraft Annual: Replacing the apparently defunct Lovecraft Studies, this yearly journal is edited by S.T. Joshi. (Hippocampus Press)
Lovecraft Studies: Edited by S.T. Joshi (Necronomicon Press). This publication “was originally founded in 1979 to offer a forum for serious study of Lovecraft’s work.” The H.P. Lovecraft Archive now hosts a comprehensive index of all issues of Lovecraft Studies.
The New Lovecraft Collector: Edited by Peter Cannon (Necronomicon Press). This “quarterly newsletter [is] devoted to informing subscribers as to new and recent Lovecraft publications..., films, and other...items pertaining to the old gent from Providence.”
Studies in Weird Fiction: Edited by S.T. Joshi (Necronomicon Press). Similar to Lovecraft Studies, this periodical discusses weird tale authors other than Lovecraft, yet frequently touches on Lovecraftian themes.

Periodicals with single issues devoted to Lovecraft.

Fangoria: The September 1991 (issue 106) issue was a “Special H.P. Lovecraft Issue,” and included six separate articles relating to Lovecraftian films.
Fantasy Empire: A special issue was devoted to Lovecraft, and included “An Introduction to the Cthulu [sic] Mythos” and “H.P. Lovecraft: The House of Shadows,” both by J. Vernon Shea, and comic adaptations of both “The Festival” and “The Hound.”
Heavy Metal: The October 1979 (volume III, number 5) issue was a “Special H.P. Lovecraft Issue.” It included a comic adaptation of “The Dunwich Horror,” as well as an adaptation called “The Thing” based on “The Statement of Randolph Carter.”
